Owen's Story

Not too exciting today… spent the morning at Costco, then did an impromptu picnic at Moraine State Park.  We were leaving Costco and Owen wanted to do something “different”.  So, we had a picnic lunch and played by the lake for a little while.  The boys had fun playing in the dirt and on the playground.  Love that he wears his soccer shirt from last year backwards, because he likes to see the numbers on the front.  Wouldn’t be so bad, but it’s a “V” neck

Owen’s still been feeling pretty good.  We noticed his voice being a little hoarse today.  We’ll have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t turn into anything.

Great day!  We had beautiful weather and had fun playing around the house today.  And this night was a special treat… Neil Walker, the 2nd baseman for the Pittsburgh Pirates was signing autographs at a nearby car dealership.  Owen could not wait and talked about it all day!!!  Neil was such a nice guy!  He signed 2 hats, a baseball and a card for Owen.  How awesome is that?!? and, he posed for a picture!!!

Spring has finally arrived!  It is so nice to be able to be outside so much.  I think it really makes us all feel so much better.  Owen got his treatments on Friday and Saturday.  The nurse took his tubies out on Saturday and he did awesome!  He’s free!  That meant he could take a bath again, and he took a nice long one last night.

Today we got to go watch Daddy run a 1/2 marathon!!  It was a bright and early morning, but the weather could not have been better.  We had fun cheering all of the runners, and Owen was so proud of his Daddy.

It was gorgeous outside today!  We had to wait around for the nurse to come this morning and give Owen his medicine.  He did great!  After naps, we went to our good friends house for a very fun playdate!  Very last minute, but those are always the best

Here Owen is with his best friend.
